eSCL/Apple Airscan scanners should be found natively by the default escl backend. However, the <tt>sane-airscan</tt> third party backend is more actively maintained and you may have better luck using it:

<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
hardware.sane.extraBackends = [ pkgs.sane-airscan ];
hardware.sane.extraBackends = [ pkgs.sane-airscan ];
</syntaxhighlight>
</syntaxhighlight>
It can be that your scanner is found twice (once by <tt>escl</tt> and once by <tt>airscan</tt>, in this case disable <tt>escl</tt>:
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
hardware.sane.disabledDefaultBackends = [ "escl" ];
</syntaxhighlight>
To detect Microsoft WSD "driverless" scanning, also use the <tt>sane-airscan</tt> backend.


If the scanner is connected by USB, also set the following option:
